I'm disappointed with my very expensive Vicmarc 100 chuck. I was thinking with its reputation it would be somewhat accurate. It's not. Total runout is 14 thousandths of an inch. The lathe is less than 2 thousandths runout measured on the inside taper and on the included faceplate. So it's the chuck, not the lathe! 14 thousandths will not be acceptable for pen work!
What should I expect for total runout for a wood lathe chuck? For my metal lathe chuck which is about a 1/3 the cost I get a guaranteed 3 thousandths total runout. I was hoping for some input before I reach out to the vendor and/or manufacturer.
Thanks,
Danny
